tonyw Registered: 05/23/02 Posts: 2349 Loc: Goulburn Australia	1922c I know a spoke manufacturer here in Australia but I am not sure if he is still working (he retired some years ago) but I can contact him if you like. The examples I have seen have all been good quality. Tony _________________________ 1938 1/2 ton Hope to drive it before I retire Chat Group Member

cufrcp Backyard Mechanic Registered: 12/17/01 Posts: 225 Loc: Toledo, Ohio	Like AntiqueMechanic said... Contact Jim Kanne. Your spokes ARE the same as the Model T. Jim was able to fit mine in with about 10 Model T sets that he was doing at once. Just call him and talk with him. He did the wheels on my '23 and they are great. The wheels are one thing that I wanted done right! _________________________ Chris

cordman Shade Tree Mechanic Registered: 02/09/02 Posts: 193 Loc: Broken Arrow, Oklahoma	Look for a place in an Amish area that does buggy/wagon wheels. They could take your existing spokes and make duplicates. _________________________ cordman

trooper Shade Tree Mechanic Registered: 11/05/08 Posts: 58 Loc: connecticut,usa	1922c: If you have'nt found a source I.ll give my 2 cents. The Model T wood spook for a 23 was 9 3/4 L & 1 1/4 D. I used to turn them on my lathe for local T owners. A good source is Snyder's in Ohio.Snyder's antiqueauto They list hickoryspokes for 30 & 21inch @ $11.75 ea.
